Gypsys Message on being Grateful

[*Gypsy*]

[glow=red,2,300]Hi my friends,
Tonite I am working on the posting brd,moving some post around to the new "Wiccan Ways" broads,I'm watching a show on MSMBC on Anna Nicole Smith.
I keep thinking how sad this poor soul will never get a chance to grow more as a human being,she had it all, what most of us think as important looks,money,homes,cars,boats any and everything any of us could only dream about,but never get to touch.
I look at my dinner and I'm grateful,I get a coke and I'm happy, I spend time with my grandbaby and think shes the most amazing little human I have ever saw~
so..I'm thinking to myself as I watch what a sad life Anna had, with ALL she had...she really had nothing.
please,let us all be more grateful in this life and let us all see,getting what you think you want isnt all it's cracked up to be,life is what we can make it.
I'm lighting a candle for her and the child she left on this earth,the butterfly effect comes into my mind now,I sure hope the road for this child will not be like her moms or her sweet brother.
I wish for you all to love yourselfs more,to keep your familys close to really think what is important in your life...as we can see...it's not all the money or fame~

Please share your thoughts with me about this~

Many Blessings Gypsy[/glow]

I agree with all you say Gypsy
I came so very close to loosing my life 8 years ago & now see everything in a new light. I am grateful for ever day & all in them. All you say is how I endevour to live my life now. I pray that Anna's child is taken in by people who will give her all the love & stability she needs, to grow up without the demons her mother fought most days of her life & the need to be forever grasping for something more.

Life is never ending. Every time one door closes another opens --- or so we are told.
In my life, I have had many love ones pass on, from grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren, even my mate.
My body was ready to give up totaly last year with my heart only working 10% and 1/4 of it died. I have everything! I have 3 grown children and 6 very active grandbabies. I may have to worry about how my bills will get paid or how hard I have to work to make ends meet. I always have something to eat even if it's beans. LOL which are becoming my favorite food just hate waiting hours for them to cook. LOL
I see people every-day complaining how little they have and running to the goverment for hand outs. They do not live within their means. They do not wish to try to make a goal of things and give up way to easy. Point in hand . . . Anna never did a honest days work for what she got. She took and took. She used others and never could find her own happiness. Maybe if she ate more beans instead of the ill gotten gains she would not have felt the needs for the drugs to hide from the truth.
The poor little baby left behind, sad to say will do a repeat of mom and brother. UNLESS higher powers step in. I do not morn for Anna she was playing games all her life looking out for only herself. I morn for the little girl left behind. Who I feel will have the pain for her parents to deal with. She will be in great danger of abuse. Please pray for this child!
Life is never ending for it reflects on those we leave behind.

Oh my gypsy I didn't mean my post to be a "pity me" on. LOL My life is so much like many others as we age. Life happens and many of us are left behind to carry the pieces around.
As far as it beingh harder to make ends meet...do you really think that is true? Or is it more true that it's harder to make ends meet when keeping up with the Jones? LOL
I am only in my early 50's, but due to my heart I find myself living on Widows Disability. I get less in one month than folks living on walfare. But I make my ends meet. I do not get hand-outs. I pay over 1/2 my income on cobra insurance so I can have medical care. I pay 1/3 of my income on my meds. By the time I get through doing that it leaves me with very little left to pay household bills and food. Thus the reason for Beans. I can buy a bag of beans for less than $1 and have several meals off them. I can make 1 lb. of ground beef last a full month in great food. I make ends meet by doing my sewing and crafts.
I do not now or ever, expose myself to get attention. I do not play on people feelings by telling them the wooes of my childhood. I do not drink, do drugs or even smoke. I didn't go out and party either. That is how we paid our house off. Had I not...I probley wouldn't make it now.
The problem with Anna ... she played people! If she cared about her son, other than just show, she would have not indroduced him to drugs. She would have given him a solid life.
Each life is very short and I think to many people think their life is based on what they have and what they do not have.
They do not know what they have till they lost it. I had my house broke into last year, shortly after my husband's death and right before my operation. These people took everything and what they didn't take they distoryed. Now I can sit around and cry about my lost. I didn't have any insurance to cover anything. My pictures, my family pass downs, all lost. I'll never see them again only in my dreams. But you know what .;.. I don't care. They were items, they are not missed like my spouse is. My children were hurt since their items were taken also. But they were greatful I wasn't there at the time.
Guess it's all how someone looks at life. I look at life as a blessing. No matter what God gives me to carry he makes sure my shoulders are strong enough for the job. And the times the load is too heavy to carry along, He helps me out with friends and family.
Opps I wrote a book and didn't mean to. hope you understand or can make out the jest of it.
